EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Literary Visionary: Lucy Hutchinson, the 17th-Century Writer and Pearl of Anon" This evocative portrait captures the enigmatic and brilliant figure of Lucy Hutchinson (nee Apsley), an English writer, and poet born around 1620. The image, believed to be an anonymous painting from the 17th century, reveals a woman of great intellect and charm, adorned in the fashionable attire of the time. Lucy Hutchinson, often referred to as the "Pearl of Anon," was a prolific writer and poet, whose works were published under the pseudonym "Anon" to protect her identity. Her most notable achievements include the translation of the Bible into English verse and her autobiographical work, "The History of the Rebellion and Civil Wars in England," which offers a unique perspective on the English Civil War. In this portrait, Lucy is depicted wearing a low-neckline gown, accentuating her elegant collarbones and the delicate pearl necklace that encircles her neck. Her ringlets cascade down her shoulders, framing her face and adding to her allure. The boyish cut of her attire, a popular style during the period, further emphasizes her androgynous appearance and her defiance of societal norms. Lucy Hutchinson's literary contributions significantly influenced the literary landscape of her time and continue to captivate scholars and readers today. This portrait serves as a testament to her intellect, her courage, and her enduring legacy as a trailblazing figure in English literature.
